#1 Know whether you are arguing from a position of strength or weakness. Such as, if you have a job and they want you, or if you are in a job and have an offer away, then you are arguing from a position of strength. If you have no alternatives and the economy is awful, and your employer knows it, mostly trying to ask for a big raise makes you look like a whiner, no matter how much you flirt, stare into your bosses eye, or give the an offer to the 9th decimal place.
Oh, one last thing; if you oversell yourself and snake a high salary based on an inflated resume, and then don't deliver, your boss will hate you and look to have you fired.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e463016da811a57473752bzunguriSat, 25 Jan 2014 20:21:05 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e463016da811a57473752b

Ladies, do not flirt you could easily get screwed over if they pick up on it and if you do succeed do you really want a higher salary for the cost of dignity? The advice here should be to do your research, understand what people in your same position make elsewhere (especially at the competition), have a concrete number in your head and be able to give a reason for it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e15ddc6da8118b6f40e237TmacThu, 23 Jan 2014 13:22:20 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e15ddc6da8118b6f40e237
